LCD vs Plasma: Meet its Winner
LCD, right? Most people tend to choose for the more popular one. Are they right, or not? Naturally, like most decisions this is a subjective opinion but nevertheless facts are facts.
We start with LCD’s negative points:
- response times;
- black is *not* black;
- backlight bleeding (most visible in a dark room or at night);
- can’t display HDTV fully/properly due to limited lines;
- dead pixels which can *not* be repared;
- best quality in front of the tv.
Positive:
- cheap;
- brightness;
- good for computer hook-ups;
- design-wise;
- lite weight.
Plasma negative points:
- burn-in remains possible;
- expensive;
- consume more power;
- heavy;
- in sunlight more reflections.
Positive:
- black IS black;
- no quality loss viewing from different angels;
- no response times;
- HDTV can be displayed in 1024i/p.
Conclusion: plasma wins by a long-shot when you want the best quality. Below a 1000 bucks you get the best value when buying a LCD. Presumably that is why most people buy a LCD and take for granted the lack of quality.
